Peihong Ni is currently a Professor at Soochow University, China. She received her B.S. in Polymer Chemistry from Nanjing University in 1982. After completing her Master's degree work at Soochow University in 1988, she joined the faculty at Soochow University. She received her Ph.D. in Polymer Chemistry and Physics from Fudan University in 2001. She has published more than 130 scientific articles, 35 Chinese Patents, and 4 book chapters on topics dealing with oxyanion-initiated polymerization, emulsion polymerization, controlled/living polymerization, “Click” reaction, and various multifunctional nanomaterials approaches for therapeutics of cancer. Her current research interests include designing and synthesis of anti-tumor polymer carriers, polymer prodrugs, and hydrogel scaffold materials based on biodegradable polymers (polyphosphoester, aliphatic polyester, dextran, hyaluronic acid, etc.), which assist targeted delivery approaches for cancer and tissue engineering applications.
